Sources and transparency

Evidence should be inspectable.

PoliticalPedia keeps the origin, timing, measurement method, and publication status of civic information attached to the facts they support.

Published coverage

Official source directory

Publication lifecycle

Unpublished data fails closed.

Fixture, draft, reviewed, retired, invalid, or internal-only records are not treated as current public facts. Public routes use production policy and show an unavailable state when no eligible record exists.

Per-record traceability

Metrics preserve their own dataset, vintage, snapshot, quality, granularity, and source relationships.

Authority is not certainty

Official identifies the publishing authority. Estimate, census count, and administrative count describe measurement.

Missing is not zero

Unavailable, suppressed, stale, and not-applicable information remain distinct states.

Comparability is conditional

Boundary, period, unit, universe, and methodology must align before statistics can be compared.
